9 Pregnant Characters Perfect for Maternity Halloween Costumes

No need to work around your bump come October 31st — thanks to that growing belly and these ideas, your costume is taken care of! Just choose a pregnant character from pop culture (Kate Middleton, anyone?) and start celebrating for two.

Juno

Does it get more iconic than a pregnant Ellen Page in oversized clothes with a gallon of Tang? For this costume, you're all set if you wear your baggiest maternity jeans (bonus points if you wear a skirt over them!), a hooded zip-up sweatshirt and striped shirt, and pull your hair up in a ponytail. (Kudos if you can get your hands on a hamburger phone!) If your partner is willing to don a Michael Cera–inspired track ensemble with too-short shorts, more power to him.

Beyoncé

Blue Ivy has long since taken her first steps (if this year's VMAs award show is any indication, she's already mastered some of her mom's "Flawless" dance moves!), but her mama Bey's 2011 pregnancy couldn't have been more memorable. You can mimic her jaw-dropping VMA announcement in black pants, a white button down, and a sequin purple blazer that you can pop open when people implore about your costume. Don't have one lying around? Check EBay or get extra crafty with an old jacket and a glue gun. If you're feeling especially gutsy, you can don a long-sleeved leotard and a massive costume ring to imitate Beyoncé's most instantly recognizable look from the aforementioned "Single Ladies" video.

Blake Lively

This actress boldly went where no expecting mama had gone before (or at least for a long time) with her low necklines, bump-hugging fabrics and completely open-backed dresses. To dress up as this fashionista, flowing blonde hair is a must. Then, just wear your most fabulous maternity look, and there will be no mistaking your costume.

Jackie Kennedy

If you're in the mood for a more modest costume, Jackie O is definitely your girl. She was pregnant with John-John during JFK's 1960 election, but it was hard to tell thanks to her wardrobe of well-tailored coats and sensible kitten heels. Hit up a consignment store for a flattering, conservative coat dress, then pair with gloves, pearls, and Jackie's signature oversized shades. Hello, Jackie O!

Daya from Orange is the New Black

This character from the hit Netflix series gets pregnant in the first series, and because of the way the show is filmed, stays that way until season three. For this costume, all you really need is an orange or grey jumpsuit. Just make sure it's big enough to fit your growing belly.

Demi Moore

Before posing nude on a magazine cover was practically a celebrity pregnancy prerequisite, Demi Moore was famously the first to bare all for Vanity Fair. But don't worry, you don't have to go nude for this costume — just find a tight flesh-colored ensemble (American Apparel's leotards do come in extra large!) and create a Vanity Fair sign to wear with your costume. Bonus points if you rock a short Demi wig or create faux-arms, scarecrow style, to wrap over your chest and under your belly.

Kate Middleton

No one does maternity fashion quite like royalty, and no royalty does it quite like Duchess Kate. Be palace chic for at least one day in your most stylish pregnancy dress, heels (if you dare), and — this is crucial — a fascinator hat to exemplify your British style. You can try talking your partner into getting you a massive sapphire ring for the occasion, but if he isn't budging, you can probably find a fake one online.

Hester Prynne

The Scarlet Letter makes frequent appearances on high school reading lists, but not quite as many on Halloween — so why don't you and your bump change that? Dress in your finest Puritan garb (it could be as simple as a long dress and the right hat) and slap a bright red A on your chest. Your partner can dress as the Minister Dimmesdale, so long as your friends who haven't read the book (or the Spark Notes) won't be upset by the spoiler.

Kim Kardashian

Ever one for the skin-tight gown, Kim Kardashian has needed both of her pregnancies to establish her own maternity style. Wear a tight dress and long blazer and gel your hair back. And maybe consider amping up your, ahem, assets for the night — you can get Kim's enviable bottom and boobs with something as simple as a few pillows and a stuffed bra.
